Well Diana Galbaldon fascinates me. She has a bachelor's degree in zoology, as master's degree in marine biology and a Ph.D. in ecology and claims, none of which has anything whatever to do with her novels. But methinks that isn't all together true. Some of these books I read were published twenty plus years ago. My neighbor has all the Lord John books too. So I'll be reading for some time to come. When Dianan Gabaldon finished the first four
novels, she wrote "The Outlandish Companion" which explains the terminology used, so I've 557 pages and 979 pages of interest to currently read, and then some!
